Philco 60L
#1

I finally got the dealing done and got the Philco 91X today at a lower price than the guy originally wanted for it. It was working great until the trip home jostled it, now it's having the volume control issues again. Along with the deal, the guy passed this radio on to me just to get it out of the way, a model 60 console in dire need of some TLC.[attachment=0]

I've never seen a Philco 60 in the console form before, so I think I'll try and save this one. The chassis is complete and the cabinet is solid, but that is all that's going for it right now. As you can see the speaker is blitzed, the grillecloth is blitzed, the knobs are gone, as well as the dial.. oh I can't spell it right now! Also all the controls are froze except the dial shaft and it doesn't turn the tuner anymore. The tuner is loose though and the plastic dial scale looks intact. This radio looks like it was attacked by kids who were never disciplined like the radios I found in an old house a few years back. This will wait until fall for any work as I need to track down parts and price speaker reconing for it, the 91X, and a Silvertone that needs speaker repairs.

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photo which was attached to this post is no longer available.

No matter where you go, there you are.
